The
New Iowa Trade-In Sales Tax Set for July First
The state board of assessment and review in Des Moines announced a new state sales tax rule on trade-in articles, mainly automobiles, taking effect July 1. The tax applies to resale of items received through a trade-in, changing from taxing only the excess of resale price over the original trade-in allowance. The date was moved from April 15 to prevent losses for dealers with stock acquired earlier. G Fowler was in Des Moines over the weekend with his wife and daughter.
